The MP for Labrador says people in this province have yet to be able to put their finger on positive changes in the health care system despite an infusion of $2 billion to the provinces, including Newfoundland and Labrador.

Yvonne Jones, who is not running for re-election, is well familiar with the health care system after beating two bouts of cancer.

The federal government topped up transfer payments in 2023, but it came with no strings attached.

The provinces are responsible for delivering health care but Ottawa sets standards and provides funding required to run the system.

Jones says people are not seeing the tangible impact from the $300 million NL got from Ottawa.

She would like to see “more insight, more vision and more incorporation of technology” so that people feel they are getting the service they need and expect.
